Like NoOp, I can confirm that this works for me in Hardy.

What happens if you start the import in Evo and then enable hidden files
by rightclicking the list of files in the File Open dialog? There should
be a context menu entry "Show hidden files". Does that work?

You can also (again in the File Open dialog) enter ".", or ".mozilla" in
the "Location" text entry field. This should show you a menu with all
files/directories starting with a dot or ".mozilla", repsectively
